How to Reduce Your Expenses.

You can do it easily, and you will not
have to deprive yourself of single com
fort; on the contrary, you will enjoy life
more than ever. How can you accom-
plish this resultH Easily; cut down your,
DOCTORS bills. Wh'n you lose your appe-
tite, and become bilious and constipated,
and the efore low spirited, don't rush off
to the family physician for prescription,
or, on the other hand, wait until you are
sick abed before doing anything at all;
but just go to the druggists and for
twenty-five cents get supply of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets. Take
them as directed, and our word for It,
your unpleasant symptoms will disappear
as if by magic, you will have no big doc
tors bill to pay, and everybody interested
ex cept tho DOCTOR, will feel happy.

Wondering ruins of their deserted habita-
tions. The noisy whirl of gayety and un-
needing strife has drowned the subdued
murmur of their fame, and few are the
thoughts vJuchsafed to their memory
amid the restless activity of world that
cannot sufficiently honor them because 1t
never knew them.
But some day perchance there may
come to mems minds realization of the
heroism that endured without com plain
ing, and bore the cross and felt the
stripes but never knew the crown of
earthly recognition aud glory. If such a
time should ever be, when silent nobility
and the secret treasures of un-
blazoned greatness find a place in the
VIC rld's admiration,
"rher triumphs will be sung
by some unmoulded tongue
Far on In the summers we shall lot see.'
But as dreamed and vaguely Swallowed
forth the reflections have here put down,
the shadows of evening we're gathering
around San Geronimo. The purple flush
of twilight was stealing along the hills and
deepening into rich shadows The gloom
of the valley above; the distant spurs OF
Penalno we're glorifed by the departing
sunlight, and the white cactus plants were
cleaning like silver ghosts in the last
radiance of the dying day. The cries OF
the yacqueros came in softened frag
ments from the winding roads below, the
white streets of Chihuahua were noisy
with the carts of the water carriers ant
the clatter of pack IN ules laden with fag-
gots and cheered on by the songs and
curses of their muleteers. The call IL
vespers was ringing out from the ole
cathedral as the padre. last relic of his
race, chatted with the knot of worship

adjacent burial ground for three cen

mission before descending to the town
It's tumbled walls were glinted by the de-
clining sun, its vine covered portal wa
illumined by chance ray and its inne
shadows we're made darker still by tn
momentary shafts that penetrated its re
cesses. Its crumbling stones seeme'
crushed with the weight of the world
oblivion, the stir of its life was hushe'
and the myrid voices OF its dead recollec
tions were breathing in the mutfied IN
dertones of grief and desolatlon. An,
yet to me such spots are invested with
supernal holiness, for

'sIf from society we learn to live,
'Tis solitude should teach us how to die"

In such quiet moments the unlocked
casket of memory discloses rare treasurers
TO view; then we catch the clearest
olim pses of truth; then fading hopes are
1e.iIlbmined and wounded spirits are
sootbed; then fancy, like the richly
tinted light of cathedral windows, shines
ON the common things of life and renders
them radiantly beautiful, and then
imagination, no longer fettered by earthly
trifles. pazes serene on that celestial city
where, with our strivings for culture
crowned with success, we shall be perfect
beings in perfect rest. Of such moments
the Inhabitants of the ancient missions
had not few, and to such fructifying in
Auences may be ascribed much of the
earnest singleness of devotion, the I'm
wayeripg trust, the quiet self-denial so
conspicuous in the story of their labors.
They we're surrounded and shut in on all
